Chapter 295 - The Woman Is Crazy, Crazy!
The reason why she was not allowed to stay in the palace was that the descendants of the emperor were living in the Imperial Institute of Medicine and there was no room for her, a Miss who came from an inferior aristocratic family and had framed someone up!
She had stayed for a few more days because she was still unconscious.
But although she was still unconscious now, the two eunuchs just carried her out and directly left her at the gate of the palace. They then went away, leaving her lying down at the gate of the palace.
People outside the palace did not know what was going on and thought that she was an imperial concubine who had committed a crime, but later discovered that she was only a fainted Miss from an aristocratic family. But since she was thrown at the gate so casually, they considered her not a decent lady.
The carriage of Duke Xing’s Mansion arrived shortly after, and the two old maids came up to carry Wang Yishu to the carriage, and then the carriage went away.
However, although the carriage of Duke Xing’s Mansion went fast, the incident of Wang Yishu was dug up among aristocratic families. They couldn’t talk about the incident of several princes being assassinated, and the incident of Wang Yishu was kept secret because of the assassinations. But as Wang Yishu was thrown at the gate of the palace, the incident became significant like fermentation.
There were many Young Madams who had witnessed the incident. It was indeed Wang Yishu who intended to frame up the Second Miss of the Qin’s Mansion. However, they had never met before. Why was there a dispute between them? Why did Wang Yishu dare to frame up the Second Miss Qin in the palace? Wang Yishu intended to kill the Second Miss Qin or ruin her reputation. How profound was the hatred between them?
Some aristocratic families with keen insight even thought that this incident might have something to do with the incident of Prince Chen being assassinated. For a time, Duke Xing’s Mansion, which had always been stable in the capital, slowly entered the sight of everyone.
Before that, everyone considered that despite the undercurrent among several princes, Duke Xing’s Mansion was obviously not involved in it. However, based on how the palace disposed Wang Yishu today, everyone wondered if Duke Xing’s Mansion had got involved in it early? That was the reason why Wang Yishu was left aside at the gate of the palace? Thrown at the gate of the palace, Wang Yishu had obviously disgusted the noble people in the palace.
As Wang Yishu was thrown out of the palace gate, the rumor made everyone shift their gaze to Duke Xing’s Mansion.
At this time, any sign of disturbance could alert everyone, even Duke Xing’s Mansion that was least likely to get involved in this kind of thing.
In Duke Xing’s Mansion, Duke Xing, who had always showed a kind smile, was bawling angrily.
“What the hell is going on?” Duke Xing said sternly, with his cold and gruesome gaze falling on the opposite Madam of Duke Xing.
Today on his way to court, Duke Xing got a lot of doubtful gaze. A few friends, with whom he had been on good terms, didn’t approach him, seemingly for fear that he would approach them. It made Duke Xing very surprised. After secretly inquired about it, the result made him so incensed that he literally coughed up blood.
He managed to insist with his usual smile till the meeting with the emperor ended. After returning home, he couldn’t hold back his anger and went directly to the room of Madam of Duke Xing.
“Lord, don’t be angry. No one knows Yishu is so useless!” Madam of Duke Xing said with her face darkening. When someone from the palace asked her to pick up Wang Yishu, she knew something went wrong. She originally intended to inform the Empress secretly and then take Wang Yishu away after some time.
Unexpectedly the palace directly sent someone to inform her to pick up Wang Yishu, carried Wang Yishu to the gate of the palace and left Wang Yishu there.
“She’s just a little girl. What do you intend to do?” Duke Xing had always left the affairs of the backyard to Madam of Duke Xing, but at this moment, he involuntarily shouted in anger and beat the table hard with his fat hand.
Madam of Duke Xing was a capable woman who had handled the affairs of the backyard so well that Duke Xing didn’t need to worry about it. But she caused such a big trouble this time.
“I can’t leave the girl aside!” Madam of Duke Xing said with a cold and resentful face.
“What trouble can a little girl stir up? Should you intervene and deal with her again and again? She is now only a Miss from the family of an official at deputy third level, and has nothing to do with what happened before!” Duke Xing said with disapproval, frowned and sulked.
He had every reason to be so angry. This matter was not only a matter of the inner court, but also influenced the court. Duke Xing’s Mansion, which had originally been low-key, also got into the sight of others. At this time, if this matter got into the sight of others, it would be difficult to keep it secret, which was not a good thing for Duke Xing’s Mansion!
“I can’t leave the girl aside, or she will be a scourge!” Madam of Duke Xing gnashed her teeth and refused to let go.
“Are you… are you capable of running affairs? If you are not, I will find someone to help you!” Seeing Madam of Duke Xing insist disobeying his order, Duke Xing flew into a fury, involuntarily glared at Madam of Duke Xing and shouted in anger.
Rebuked by Duke Xing, Madam of Duke Xing suddenly lost control and screamed, “You stop me again and again for her? The woman was crazy, crazy… you…”
“Shut up!” Duke Xing suddenly stood up in shock and seized Madam of Duke Xing by the throat with a violent force, and Madam of Duke Xing almost passed out!
The several henchmen in the room trembled with fear and shrank their heads, for fear that they would be noticed by this couple, but none of them dared to come forward to mediate!
Madam of Duke Xing grasped Duke Xing’s hand fiercely with her sharp nails. Duke Xing screamed in pain, and then loosened his grip.
Madam of Duke Xing flushed with agitation, stared at Duke Xing, clenched her teeth with overwhelming hatred in her eyes, but unconsciously lowered her voice. “You still miss her. You still dare to miss her. You… ”
She couldn’t help but want to let loose a torrent of abuse, but it was completely contrary to years of education she had accepted. Nevertheless, she still lost control. The strong jealousy and rage in her heart almost burnt her entire body, even making her forget Duke Xing had seized her by the throat fiercely.
“Shut up. If you don’t want to involve our son and daughter in this, just don’t say anything!” Duke Xing said with an ashen face in a low voice. The couple stared at each other as if they were not the closest person to each other. The emotion in their eyes could almost be considered hatred.
After a long while, they finally calmed down and sat back in their chairs.
Duke Xing picked up the handkerchief of Madam of Duke Xing, wrapped it around his hands at will, and asked with a somber face, “How should we handle this matter?”
“I’ve no idea. It’s up to you!” Madam of Duke Xing seemingly had given up on herself!
“Feed Wang Yishu some medicine and make her lie in bed. We can say that she falls ill and never recovers after waking up and lies at death’s door.”
Duke Xing said in a sinister voice.
The key to this matter lay on Wang Yishu. Fortunately, it could still be remedied. After all, Wang Yishu was not a daughter of their mansion, but just a relative.
“It’s a life anyway. We just make her stay sick… till death?” After calming down, Madam of Duke Xing was hesitant, not out of kindness, but for fear that she would be involved in this.
“Or you want to keep her safe in Duke Xing’s Mansion? Since you asked her to frame up the Miss of the Qin’s Mansion, you should have thought about how to deal with her if she fails. Allowing Wang Yishu to live well in our mansion now will only make people wonder why she did something like that. Your daughter is coming back. If you don’t care about your daughter’s future, just keep her safe! ”
Duke Xing stood up, grunted coldly and turned away.
“So be it!” Thinking of her beloved daughter, Madam of Duke Xing immediately made a decision. She stood up to set about it, looking at the back of Duke Xing with an increasingly cold face.
Her daughter, whom she raised like a treasure, was incomparable to these inferior girls like Wang Yishu and Qin Wanru. Even if her daughter was a little scratched, she would make these inferior girls pay for it with their lives.
Although Wang Yishu was also raised by her from childhood, she was inferior to her daughter anyway. Her daughter is a cloud up in the ninth heaven, while Wang Yishu and Qin Wanru were just the mud under her feet. They were unqualified to be compared with her daughter, and she would never cause any damage to her daughter’s reputation because of them.
“Nanny Sheng, get Yishu some medicine, which could make her stay in bed every day, later. With her current reputation, even if she can recover, she won’t find a good match. Tell her to nurse her body! “Madam of Duke Xing ordered.
It was not a difficult job. They just needed to ask the doctor to give a prescription containing some proper medicine. Wang Yishu wasn’t really unable to wake up, but Madam of Duke Xing had sent someone to the palace to secretly tell her not to wake up, otherwise she would face something more terrifying than passing out.
Wang Yishu had actually woken up in the palace, but pretended to be unconscious until now as Madam of Duke Xing asked. Now she had got out of the palace, and it was inappropriate for her to keep pretending to be unconscious. Madam of Duke Xing simply made her get sick. No one could extract anything from a bedridden patient!
What was more, Wang Yishu’s illness could reduce a little rumor, and even make people think that she was also a victim, which was beneficial to Duke Xing’s Mansion!
Nanny Sheng, who tried to reduce her sense of existence beside, hurriedly stood up and promised, but then hesitated a little bit. “Madam, what should we do to the Qin’s Mansion?”
“Prepare some lavish gifts. I will officially adopt Qi Rongzhi as my daughter and bring her back!” Madam of Duke Xing took a deep breath. Even if she was unwilling to do that, she had to pretend to be glad at this time. She should make people see that there was no resentment but kindness between her and the Qin’s Mansion.
Regarding why Wang Yishu intended to deal with Qin Wanru, only God knew it. Wang Yishu could not speak clearly due to illness, and who could get the answer from her?
“Yes, Madam. I’ll prepare immediately!” Nanny Sheng nodded and left.
An old maid in the yard suddenly rushed over and walked to the curtain of the main room to report. “Madam, Countess Yong wants to meet you!”
“No!” Madam of Duke Xing refused coldly. “Just tell her that Yishu can’t wake up due to illness, and I’ve brought many doctors to treat Yishu with no time to meet her!”
She had given Countess Yong some guidance, but she didn’t want to get involved in it and it had nothing to do with her! They could not find any clues on her!
“Yes, Madam!” The maid didn’t dare to say anything, and left after respectfully bowing.
